11 Aug
Summary
- Nate Wiggins carted off with a left leg injury during practice.
- Coach Minter is optimistic but awaiting test results on severity.
- Wiggins' absence would be a significant blow to the Ravens' defense.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins suffered a left leg injury during practice on Tuesday and was carted off the field. The injury occurred in the end zone while Wiggins was covering rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane during a one-on-one drill.
Coach Jesse Minter addressed the situation post-practice, confirming Wiggins was undergoing tests. Minter conveyed a sense of optimism regarding the injury's potential severity but admitted he lacked definitive information. He emphasized that the team would conduct further evaluations.
Losing Wiggins, regarded as the Ravens' premier cover corner, would represent a substantial challenge for the team's defense. Despite this potential setback, Minter expressed confidence in the cornerback group's depth. This includes veteran players like Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie, as well as emerging talents such as T.J. Tampa, Keyon Martin, and Chandler Rivers.
The Ravens are scheduled to play their first preseason game this Saturday at 7 p.m. ET against the Philadelphia Eagles.
